When either Bertie Wooster or his friends found themselves in the soup or in dangerous proximity to the tureen, the instinct of one and all was to turn to Jeeves - Bertie's Man. He understood human nature, especially that of gilded youth.
It did not matter if the hope of an ancient house had fallen in love with a waitress, or if Bertie's cousins Claude and Eustace had been playing dido; Jeeves never failed. His was a sound brain.
The only thing in which Jeeves failed, that is in his master's eyes, was that he could not always go the whole way with him in the matter of spats, socks and ties, particularly in the Spring - Jeeves was a purist.
In this volume are told some of Jeeves more remarkable achievements. (From the book)

By my vote, this is the best of all the Wodehouse novels, which makes it all the more curious that it was not actually conceived as a novel at all. Most
...
unusually, it was pieced together from a number of short stories that had already appeared, featuring the jolly joker Bertie Wooster and his ingenious valet Jeeves.
It is here that we see all the familiar Wodehouse themes woven together into one story - an old schoolfriend round at the club needing help (the author’s mind seemed to be still at school to the end), an intimidating aunt who keeps trying to get Bertie married off, various uncles who need placating in order not to threaten the all-important allowance… and all along, Jeeves the puppet-master, skilfully saving one situation after another, while also presuming to edit the young master’s wardrobe in suitable taste.
If there has ever been a better comic situation than The Great Sermon Handicap, when one of Bertie’s chums opens a betting-book on the length of the Sunday church-sermons at various villages, then I have missed something special.
Meanwhile, it is the only story in which we ever hear of Jeeves contemplating marriage for himself, though we are hardly surprised when this comes to nothing.
